Student Payments in Web Advisor

Paying for tuition, fees, housing, insurance and other charges to your

student account.

What do I need to know first

• You will have the option of paying by credit card or e-check.

• Credit card payments will include a convenience fee of $35.

• E-checks are free for students.

• Processing occurs at Official Payments secure site.

What is a convenience fee?

• Credit card processing is expensive for the school. The fee that is charged helps to defray the costs of adding or continuing this convenience. Without this fee, schools would not be able to accept credit cards.

• E-Check processing is a very minor fee per transaction for the school. Because of that, no fee will be charged to students.

Using E Checks

• An E-check is basically debiting (removing) money from your checking account.

• You need to have a checking account

• You will be prompted to enter the routing number and account number (you can get the routing number from the bank if you don’t have checks, otherwise it is part of the micr coding at the bottom of your checks)

• You will also be prompted to enter a check number, but this does not need to be a “real” check. You can make up any 4 digit number and enter it, if you don’t have checks with your account.
